A couple more days and 2012 is gone, where does the time go? I have been enjoying time on the hill shredding deep powder lately and will most likely be splitting my time searching for powder stashes and steel this winter. A great combo if I do say so myself.
I am going to get in a couple more swing sessions before the bell rings closing out 2012. The rivers are on a roller coaster ride and you need to be flexible to be there when it's prime.
I had another great year of fishing in 2012 with great friends, some old and some new. I am looking forward to much more of the same this next year. I will be concentrating on getting fish on my own terms this year, using more traditional tactics and gear. I have learned much from friends and mentors and I hope that never changes.I will be employing the use of floating lines and classic flies more this winter as I pursue more challenges in an already challenging sport.
Thanks for reading and I hope to have some more adventures worth relating in 2013.
Have a blessed Christmas everyone!
Met up with my buddy Scott Travis again on the river and he has been busy. We swung some flies on a beautiful early winter day and had a great time. After fishing, he broke out a couple fly boxes that just blew me away. Here are four of his flies nestled in the snow. Oh yeah, they catch fish too!
Snow and beautiful flies, a few of my favorite things.
